Marketing & Publicity Report By Carole Swan Marketing & Publicity Chairman Thank you and good afternoon. First of all I want to thank you all for the cooperation you’ve shown me in your contributions to the E-Bulletin and Courier. Our communication network is expanding rapidly, and it would expand even faster if Lodges, Chapters and Legions could please manage to clean out their e-mail in boxes more frequently … I think I speak for the entire Association Board when I say it would certainly make our job easier. Now, to my report … today I’m actually going to introduce a new program

Introducing the New “Lodge Promotional Materials To aid Lodges in expanding their presence in their communities To give Washington State / Northern Idaho Lodges and Chapters a Consistent Look To make your communities aware of our Charitable Activities To aid Lodges in making themselves known in their local communities. To give our promotions a consistent look and to make your communities aware of what we do to better the quality of life in your area and nationwide.

Formatted Press Release to be customized for Lodge Events Pre-Written Letters to Local Officials to make them aware of the services of Mooseheart … customized with Lodge Names and Contact Numbers What I’m proposing is Standardized Press Releases … some customizable for the local lodges and some that you can just send to your local newspapers.
